"I googled what would happen if you gave a homeless man $100k. Well, I actually found the exact answer to this question because a documentary was recorded in 2005 when they gave a homeless man $100k as a social experiment. The only conditions were that they could record him and document his everyday life after he had been given the money. Obviously, he accepted. But instead of getting his life back on track like the producers had hoped, he spends loads of time in a local bar, he purchased a $35,000 Dodge Ram and another truck for one of his recently acquired girlfriends. In the documentary, he goes to see a financial planner, but then firmly announces to him that he has no intention of getting a job and does not wish to plan ahead as he’s only concerned with today. Within a couple of months not only was he dead broke and homeless again, but he was also in debt. The documentary concluded by him saying that he was happy and relieved to be back on the streets."
